Review: Surprising attention to detail - This is fantastic! Very well made with a surprising attention to detail. It clearly shows the interaction between crankshaft, camshaft and distributor. Built this with my 15yo grandson. Watched a couple “how an engine works” videos then built the model. At the end of the day he had a clear understanding of how a basic engine works. A must for any young boy or girl.
Review: Learn. Get smart. It might not be perfect.. but you'll learn. - I grew up in a wrecking yard and my dad was a diesel mechanic and mechanic of all types. I am good with body work, welding upholstery. But the mechanical side was always beyond my grasp of understanding. So I bought this for myself for Xmas to get the jist on how to build an engine and the parts and names. Im tired of mechanics treating me stupid. I dont have my dad or any dudes. So, ima learn and not get taken advantage of anymore. Mechanics if your reading this. I grew up with one, dont think just cuz you see a girl, she's completely stupid. Yall are making us step up, and check you. Mechanics dont have a good name because of these situations. Do better. Don't take advantage of women because you think we're stupid. We're getting smarter to combat how you treat me. I have vehicles I'm having restored, classics. And I'm tired of men treating me less than.
